Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

Slumdog Millionaire Synopsis

Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy, Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel, Madhur Mittal, Freida Pinto, Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan. The film is based on the best selling novel Q&A by Vikas Swarup.
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”

But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions.

Intrigued by Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show?

When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out…

There will be life after Slumdog for youngsters Rubina Ali and Azhar Ismail. As reported by PR-inside.com, the two have signed on to join the cast of Lord Owen’s Lady. The film will be shot in Wales and India and tell the story of a Welsh nobleman who falls for an Indian girl

After the world got wrapped up in Slumdog Millionaire fever last fall, I guess we all felt like Dev Patel and Freida Pinto owed it to us to fall in love for real. Turns out, that probably actually happened
